    One of those rare games that not only sucks you in, but pins you down and gives you noogies as time passes unmercifully.

    This game is excellent, although its predictable and simple story combined with average character designs and dialogue prevent if from becoming an instant classic.

The exploration and mystery of the world really give you an incentive to explore, and the mechanics you unlock as you go further only further this.

My only minor complaint is that there is no voice acting, but considering that the game was so big they had to use two disks, I can forgive that.… Expand
